How gamification helps create high-performing fleets and drivers .
WORDS BY TELETRAC NAVMAN
Motivating workers has long been the holy grail of many organisations . Keeping people interested , invested , and performing at a high level isn ’ t exactly easy .
Gamification is a way of approaching processes that creates or encourages the feeling of playing a game . It has the effect of motivating and engaging your staff , primarily because it leverages people ’ s natural interest in socialising , competition , and achievement .
Put simply - when things are fun , they ’ re easier to enjoy . And when people are enjoying something , they ’ ll pay more attention to it , try harder at it , and otherwise perform better .
So how does gamification fit into your organisation and allow you to get the best out of your team ?
Fun and games
Driver scorecards are an easy way to introduce gamification into your organisation .
With in-vehicle telematics , you can collect a wealth of data that can be used to create a scorecard for each driver . Everything from a vehicle ’ s speed or harsh braking through to idle time and over revving is viewable through a customisable dashboard that shows a high-level view of driver performance .
As part of the TN360 ecosystem , the Driver Scorecard app allows both drivers and admin staff to view these key metrics and driver performance on a dashboard , at any time .
It ’ s simple to assign scores to key metrics , which allows you to easily compare fleet-wide driver performance . And drivers can view their scores through in-vehicle applications and compare performance with other drivers .
Next level management
Scorecards and gamification don ’ t just encourage healthy competition , they also help your management processes . They provide you with valuable insights into driver behaviours that can help you to improve your business and achieve real-world improvements .
